Musethica is an educational method for talented musicians, introducing extensive concert performances to a wide range of audiences as a basic teaching tool. Selected musicians are given the opportunity to perform a large number of concerts as a fundamental part of their education, often playing together with their mentor. Musethica’s international team of experienced and carefully chosen mentors coach the musicians in masterclasses and rehearsals, preparing concert programs of the highest quality. The mentor attends all concerts and coaches the musicians after each concert. Together, the young musicians and their mentors perform extensively to all parts of society. At least 85 percent of the concerts are performed outside traditional concert halls. Musethica’s concerts are played in prisons, schools, kindergartens, hospitals, elderly homes, homeless shelters, centers for special education, and in many other unusual places. The aim is to play for all parts of society, prioritizing people who are excluded or at risk of exclusion. The concerts are always free of charge. Musicians and their mentors perform without remuneration. The aim of Musethica is to establish itself as a program of excellence and as an integrated part of the higher education in music universities and conservatories worldwide. |

'''How can we teach inspiration?''' |

Musethica was born of the dire need for musicians to play regularly in front of an audience - an aspect of musical training that has traditionally been paid scant attention. The musician functions as a bridge between a musical composition and the listener. It is an art that cannot solely be learned in the classroom. To completely master their instruments musicians need these encounters with audiences. The intensive Musethica training program is an enormous challenge for musicians but also brings moving moments. During the one-week sessions, the musicians play an average of 12 to 14 concerts, often surpassing even their expectations of themselves. Freed from the competitive daily atmosphere at academic institutions, the musicians are able to improve their concentration, enhance their performance and learn to listen to themselves and each other. Whether it be a performance in a concert hall or in a kindergarten, the same repertoire is played regardless. Concerts are played in all settings with the same respect and high standards. The repertoire is not adjusted to the audience and no explanation is needed. The music speaks for itself. After each concert, there is time for a dialogue between the audience and the musicians. |

It is through the quality of the music that Musethica’s concept derives its social impact. Experience shows that there is a strong correlation between the quality of the performance and the attentiveness of the audience. |

Before participating in Musethica, musicians undergo an application process in which they are selected by Musethica’s International Artistic Committee. As part of each Musethica Session, the participants prepare concert programs in masterclasses, which they then go on to perform many times for all sorts of people, together with tutors, renowned soloists and teachers at music academies from around the world. By taking part in the training program, the young musicians make remarkable progress in a very short time. They improve their intuitive playing and learn how to communicate through music. |

A special role in this process is played by the unusual audiences in social centers. Senior citizens, children and people with physical or mental disabilities often show their emotional reactions to the music – in both positive and negative ways – completely free of conventions. This direct response from the audience is a rare experience for the young musicians, one they normally don’t experience in music schools and concert halls. This is what opens up a whole new perspective on their role as musicians and their important social function. |
